Typically expresses action which is linear, continuous, or repeated. In the indicative mood, it expresses action which takes place in the present time.

"she is speaking"

It expresses continuous or repeated action which was taking place in the past. Appears only in the indicative mood.

"she was speaking"

Typically expresses an undefined action which will take place some time in the future.

"she will speaking"

Expresses undefined or momentary action. In the indicative mood, the aorist acts as a simple past tense, stating simply that some action took place in the past, with little reference to how it occurred.

"she spoke"

Aorist forms are divided into first and second aorist depending on whether they follow a standard or a secondary pattern.

Expresses completed action. It describes a present state which has resulted from a past action. It implies a process which has been completed and which now exists in a finished state.

"she has spoke"

Expresses a past state which had resulted from a previous action. This action was completed in the past and resulted in a continuing state which has presumably ceased by the present time.

"she had spoke"

Expresses an action that will be complete in the future. It describes a future state which will result from an action which will then be in the past.

"she will have spoke"

That quality of a verb which indicates the relation of the action or state of being expressed to reality. There are four moods in Greek: the indicative mood, the subjunctive mood, the optative mood, and the imperative mood. Additionally, verbal nouns (infinitives) and verbal adjectives (participles), while not moods in the proper sense, are often classified under the heading of mood for the sake of convenience. There are also a number of Latin moods (which are listed in italics at the bottom of the mood pop-up menu).

This is used for simple statements and questions. It is also the most common.

This only indicates the probability of an action. It is not affirming that something will take place, only that it may take place.

This only indicates the possibility of an action. It is used to express wishes, potentialities, and remote conditions.

This is used to give orders and commands. In Greek can appear in third person (eg: "Go!" vs "Let him Go!").

This has voice and tense but lacks person and number. It is translated with the English word "to ...". i.e. ἔχειν is the infinitive form of the verb ἔχω and it is translated "to have."

This is a verbal noun that is translated with the English ending -ing. i.e. ἔχων is the participle of the verb and it is translated "having".
